The Honda CB500 four, introduced early in the 1970s, was similarly styled to the CB750, but smaller and lighter, with an output of 48 bhp and a manufacturer's specified top speed of 102 mph. Like the earlier CB750 it sported a single front hydraulic disc brake, rear drum brake, electric starter, and sohc 8-valve engine. The 4-into-4 exhaust pipes echoed those of the CB750. It was deemed a better handling bike than the larger model, although it was still no featherweight at 201 kg (440 lb) (dry). 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 CB-500
